Are there any manual controls or at least Program mode? Can you set the camera to take long exposures?

yes, to the left of Iauto there is a "P", when you select that you can now tab down using the joystich to manual set you photo options

I am really not sure. I can tell you that this is a great point and shoot camera with great quality and speed. You can take picture after picture with no pauses in between which I love since I have small children. I hope this helps!

I agree with the other answers. Make sure flash is turned off! Use a small tripod to hold the camera steady and try to lengthen the exposure time in "Manual" mode. Try other setting other then automatic mode. Vary exposure times and ISO speeds. Experiment until you get what you want then write all your settings down.

yes you can- take auto focus off in settings and you can manually adjust to a point- the company I work for used it to make ID badge pictures though it is limited if you're trying to use it as a portable pocket digital camera.

I don't know. I bought this camera as a birthday gift, and I can't even check now if it has this feature. The manual does not mention it.

Automatic picture taking function? Well... You need to push the shutter release button, but you can set the mode to auto exposure, program, etc.

When I use the wireless triggers, I usually go manual. In TTL mode you can increase the exposure by using the +/- function on your camera.

The lack of manual controls is a huge issue for me! I got this camera last night and have taken many pictures in a variety of settings and some seem to have too slow of a shutter speed and thus come out over exposed and when taking pictures of a moving subject (for me, my dogs) they come out blurry. I am strongly considering returning this for the p300 which has full manual controls as well as auto and scene modes. Despite the lack of zoom I would rather have control over my camera and be able to fine tune my shot, than being forced to shoot in the preset modes and get lower results. Also the f/1.8 on the p300 is extremely attractive as well as the longest shutter speed of 8s compared to only 1s for the s9100.

Hi Beth, yes, you can change the aperture settings as well as the shutter speed, ISO level and exposure compensation in Manual mode. Thanks_Mitch

yes there are automatic setting for the camera. Auto-focus works as long as you use a sony e-mount lens.

You can take still photos while filming by just pressing a button although that function is disabled if you're filming in the highest setting

I don't believe so. You can set f stop and shutter speed manually for a still frame picture, but I believe once you put the camera on video, it is all automatic.

Yes set the camera on "Self timer: 10 second/ Remote control" (it's where you can set the continuous shutter feature.) You can do the same with video. It's great!!!

Turning the wheel on top to 'M' allows for manually setting shutter speed and etc. with the built in software. I've never used it but it can be done.

Yes, the camera can be fully automatic or fully manual or a combination of both. The features are excellent.

Yes....you can choose between two delayed settings: 2 seconds or 10 seconds. It's a GREAT little camera for the price especially. Takes terrifically clear shots and is very easy to use. I've enjoyed this camera very much

On my camera I am able to choose "Bulb" setting which allows long exposures. Using my remote I activate the opening of the shutter, using it again closes the shutter. There is only one button on the remote. Remember to point the remote at the infrared receiver on the camera. On mine I had to point at the front of the camera.

The Nikon MC-36A has a timer function which will do the job. Suggest you contact Nikon technical sales support for confirmation; a detailed explanation of all the features and capabilities of this unit; and, guidance on how to set it up for long exposures.
